The poll, conducted by Pollara, measured how Canadians grade the performance of financial literacy stakeholders for providing financial guidance and advice. It found:
"The numbers clearly show a need to increase our efforts and improve upon the way major stakeholders, including financial institutions, approach helping Canadians heighten their understanding and overall capabilities in the area of personal finance," said L. Jacques Menard, Chairman of BMO Nesbitt Burns and Financial Literacy Task Force Vice-Chair. "Financial literacy is critical to the financial well-being of families, as well as the overall economy, and should continue to be a focus for all involved."
